Announcing the Akari Program The Akari Capsule The Imperial Space and Exploration Program (ISEA) has concluded its transition from the Soluna Program to the Akari Program. This modular spacecraft will be able to assume various configurations to fulfill a variety of roles, including further ISEA misions to the moon, and beyond. The Akari Program will be accompanied by a separate probe program which will expand our understanding of the heavens above.
The Akari Capsule will be capable of delivering a crew of three astronauts into space, returning them to Mundus via a high angle of attack. This will generate lift and reduce stress on Akari crews at an extimated four gravities.
Akari Standard System The Akari Standard System is designed for flights of a duration of one month as well as Lunar orbital operations. It is expected that as the program continues to advance and mature the Expansion Module (EM) and Propulsion Module (PM) will be capable of sustaining missions beyond Luna, including a manned mission to Nergal, and flights to asteroids.
International Participation in the Akari Program:ISEA will, naturally, be pursuing cooperation with our partners in LISA and the Cross-Straits Union. It is our hopes that through mutual cooperation we may expand the capabilities of the Akari Program, allowing it to grow with the needs of our space programs as time progresses. The option for states beyond LISA and the CSU to rent seats aboard the Akari capsule for voyages to space stations is also being considered.
Foreign interest may be noted here, and updates concerning the Akari Program will be posted regularly.
